Abstract

In Korea, as the aging phenomenon accelerates, the problem of traffic accidents related to the elderly is continuously emerging. Efforts to improve this are being implemented, but unfortunately the results of these effects are not clear. Therefore, in this study, the effect of traffic characteristics and incentive policies on the return of driver's licenses of elderly drivers was reviewed. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the intention to return the driver's license was low in the case of men, older people, those with low dependence on public transportation, those who undertook long driving hours, and those who took frequent trips. On the other hand, financial incentives were found to play a positive role with regard to the intention to return the driver's license. However, the effect is expected to be insignificant for those with a low intention to return the driver's license. As a result, under the current policy, it is predicted that there is a limit to improving the social problems caused by elderly drivers, meaning that it is necessary to review approaches that induce the return of their driver's licenses.

우리나라는 고령화 현상이 가속됨에 따라 고령자 관련 교통사고 문제가 지속적으로 대두되고 있으며, 이를 개선하기 위한 노력은 시행 중이나 효과가 뚜렷하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 통행특성 및 인센티브 정책이 고령운전자의 운전면허증 반납에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 분석결과, 고령운전자의 주 구성원인 남성, 고 연령층, 낮은 대중교통 의존도, 긴 운전시간, 통행횟수가 많은 집단의 경우, 운전면허증 반납의사가 낮은 것으로 확인된다. 반면, 금전적 인센티브는 운전면허증 반납의사에 긍정적 역할을 하며, 이를 제공하는 방식에 따라 반납의사 정도에 차이가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 다만, 운전면허 반납의사가 낮은 집단에서는 그 효과가 미미할 것으로 예측된다. 분석결과를 종합해보면, 현재의 정책 하에서는 고령운전자로 인한 사회적 문제를 개선하기에는 한계가 존재하는 것으로 예측되는 바 고령운전자의 운전면허증 반납 유도를 위한 접근방법에 대한 재검토가 필요하다.
